Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's all coming down to the Georgia Board of Pardons, eventually
It comes down to 12 random Falcons fans before that, though. All it takes is one obstinate person leaking in to hang a jury.
But the beauty is, according to Georgia law, that can’t happen until 5 years after they’ve finished serving their sentence.
Now the legislature could change the law, but that’s it as it stands right now, and I’m not sure there’s currently enough support to change it. Currently.
You see what Georgia is doing to the Stop Cop City protesters? There's enough support. It's fucking Georgia. The villains, including Kemp, are keeping schtum until after the judgements are handed down. Anyone not seeing this as clearly as day follows night is only kidding themselves. Ain't kiddin me, tho.
While I’m not disagreeing with you, Trump tried to vilify Kemp and turn his mob on Rathesburger when they wouldn’t break the law for him. Also a lot of Republicans blame him for the loss of Purdue & Loeffler’s seats, because he wasn’t campaigning for them, he was doing the opposite. He was running around screaming about how the election was stolen and how your vote doesn’t matter, so enough Republicans didn’t vote that the seats were lost. While there’s no doubt that it’s Trump Country™ down here with the “common folks”, I’m not sure he has enough support among legislators and the upper class money to change the law just to give him a pardon.
